Hi Folks,

Have been banging my head against this for past couple hours,
have been googling around on opensolaris.org and over the
whole web and what not.

Basically my system boot keeps running into:

Requesting System Maintenance Mode
(See /lib/svc/share/README for more information.)
Console login service(s) cannot run

Root password for system maintenance (control-d to bypass):

I keep logging in and checking things like /var/svc/logs,
which looks very clean. Doing svcadm enable console-login
which runs fine too. But i never seem to be able to get
past SMF's console service.

Tried running /lib/svc/method/console-login start
"by hand" which, understandbly gets stuck waiting for
console (from where i am typing that command, via a
sulogin shell), so obviously it is not gonna be able to
grab the console. But it does prove that there is no
problem with console-login service itself.

So, why does SMF keeps insisting that
"Console login service(s) cannot run"?

I have tried things like booting with "-m milestone=none" and
hoping that i can successfully boot into multi-user mode after
that. Tried booting into single user mode, no luck, still keep
running into "Console login service(s) cannot run" with no
helpful error messages to indicate exactly WHY can they
not run?

At this point i would typically reinstall, but that would set me
back a couple days and i am running already behind.

I am probably missing something very obvious here. Can't seem
to find what that is.

In utter frustration i even saved the manifest for console-login.xml
then DELETED the service and re-added it... Still no help...

Any clues?

Thanks,
-ashu
